Last Line: In the everlasting hills.
Subject(s): Courage; Indiana; Valor; Bravery


Down in dear old Indiana,
Where the everlasting hills
Bid us lift our eyes unto the skies
Whence comes the strength that fills
Our fainting souls with courage
When the way seems dark and long,
And that softly steals away our cares
And leaves, instead, a song.

Down in dear old Indiana
Where the everlasting hills
Overlook a winding river
Whose beauty charms and thrills.
In autumn's golden glory,
Through April's buds and rills,
There is beauty, radiant beauty,
In the everlasting hills.

And I love them! How I love them!
There's no spot on earth I know,
Whate'er its charms, could tempt me
From these hills and vales to go;
And when I'm through with earthly things
And death my beings stills,
I want to wait God's coming
In the everlasting hills.
